exactly; the terror... stop being afraid and we avoid the collective need to sell our souls and those of our children for the protection of the state

  Yeah - it is goddamn tiring can't the professional emotional manipulators that call themselves politicians play on any other emotion than fear to get elected?

    They do, but they don't get elected.

    The vast bulk of the fear mongering I see is coming from the mass media, in an attempt to drive clicks and sell newspapers, and get their preferred candidate elected. For example, in the weeks leading up to the election, CNN ran a sidebar on the screen to continuously show current statistics on covid deaths, all day. The sidebar vanished on election day, and has not returned, even though covid death rates are worse than ever.

      >covid deaths You mean cases? They usually go for the biggest number they can display rather than the most informative.
